ERIK TEN HAG called on his Manchester United players to be like "robots and machines" to get back on track in the race for a top-four place.
And it was goal machine Marcus Rashford who once again came to his side's rescue, plundering his 28th of the season to take United back into fourth spot.
Rashford's predatory first-half finish proved the difference as Ten Hag's side overcame stubborn opponents to avenge their 4-0 defeat at the start of the season.
After that humiliating defeat, Ten Hag made his squad run 14km the following day in the August heat the distance Thomas Frank's side had out-run United's players.
Yet there was no shortage of application or desire on this occasion, qualities United's players had to show in abundance to secure a vital win in the battle to secure a Champions League place.
